Our Story

Comfort, Dignity & Peace, Close to Home

Golden Heart Hospice was created with one purpose: to support patients and families in our community during life’s most delicate moments. From our office in Schiller Park, our team brings expert, heart-centered end-of-life care directly to wherever you call home.

We believe no one should face a life-limiting illness in pain, in fear, or alone. Our nurses, aides, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers work as one team, focused on comfort, dignity, and the wishes of each patient and family we serve.

Whether care is needed in a private home, an apartment, an assisted living community, or a skilled nursing facility, we are here for families across Chicago’s northwest suburbs, around the clock.
